The Creative Team Behind the Magic

The Diana Mixtape is the brainchild of Christopher D. Clegg, the visionary behind Death Drop, Cool Rider, and Gals Aloud. Alongside him, the creative team includes musical director Matthew Harvey, choreographer Taz Hoesli, costume designer River Smith, lighting designer Toby P. Darvill, dramaturg Geri Allen, and video designer Adam Nightingale.

Speaking about the production, Christopher D. Clegg said: “This show is like nothing you’ve ever seen before. With a cast of actors, dancers, and drag queens, and a pop-fuelled score, this retelling of Diana’s iconic story is as loving and heartfelt as it is fierce and fabulous. Just wait till you meet Ar’ Di!”

Divina De Campo, who has wowed theatre audiences in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Chicago, and The SpongeBob Musical, shared: “Finally! I’m getting to work with TuckShop on this exciting new project and sharing the stage with so many wonderful performers! I’m overjoyed to be onboard with what promises to be a hilarious and joyful show.”

Kitty Scott-Claus, fresh from her stint as runner-up on Drag Race Global All Stars, added: “Playing the People’s Princess? Sounds camp—I’m in! Beyond thrilled to be back with TuckShop working on this incredible show. I’m so excited for the craziness.”

And Rosé, a finalist on Drag Race season 13, said: “I am ecstatic to be returning home to the UK to create art utilizing my three favourite things: music, drag, and Princess Diana. What a thrill to be portraying actual royalty amongst drag royalty. I shaved my bloody moustache for this, so consider it MAJOR!”
